[0014] In one possible implementation, the baking pan body also includes a baffle plate located inside the cavity;

[0015] The guide plate extends from the first opening to the second opening, and its two ends along the height of the cavity are connected to the upper bottom plate and the lower bottom plate, respectively.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the end of the deflector facing the second opening is spaced apart from the second opening;

[0017] The baffle plate divides the cavity into an air inlet cavity and an air return cavity. The first opening includes an air inlet section and an air return section. The air inlet section is connected to the air inlet cavity, and the air return section is connected to the air return cavity.

[0018] The ventilation opening includes an air inlet and an air return outlet. The air inlet section is used to face the air inlet, and the air return outlet section is used to face the air return outlet.

[0019] In one possible implementation, there are two deflectors arranged in parallel and at intervals. The side of the two deflectors facing away from each other forms an air inlet cavity, and the side of the two deflectors facing each other forms an air return cavity.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0052] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0053] The terms “first,” “second,” and “third” (if any) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0054] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or display that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or display.

[0055] In existing technologies, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, ovens and steam ovens, among other cooking appliances, have their inner cavity divided into a heating chamber 24 and a cooking chamber 21 by a fan cover 22. These appliances typically include an upper heating element 41, a rear heating element 42, and a lower heating element 43. The upper heating element 41, rear heating element 42, and lower heating element 43 are located on the upper, rear, and lower sides of the cooking chamber 21, respectively. To prevent the lower heating element 43 from scalding the user, it is usually positioned on the outside of the cooking chamber 21.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, when food is baked in the baking pan 10 using the convection cooking mode, the air is blown from the heating chamber 24 through the ventilation holes on the fan cover 22 into the cooking chamber 21 via the fan 30, and then circulates back from the middle of the cooking chamber 21. Therefore, the air at the bottom of the baking pan 10 is also recirculated air. The hot air has significantly reduced in temperature after absorbing heat from various parts of the inner liner 20. Heat does not accumulate at the bottom of the baking pan 10, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency and poor cooking of the bottom of the food on the baking pan 10. Figure 1As shown, when the cooking appliance uses the fanless cooking mode to bake food on the baking tray 10, the heat from the upper heating element 41 can directly radiate to the food. However, because the lower heating element 43 is separated from the bottom plate of the inner liner 20, it is far from the bottom of the baking tray 10, and its heat cannot be effectively transferred to the bottom of the baking tray 10. This results in poor cooking of the bottom of the food, which is even more pronounced in the fanless cooking mode. The above reasons cause the temperature at the bottom of the baking tray 10 to be relatively low, requiring a long time to rise. The poor cooking of the bottom of the food on the baking tray 10 means that for foods that require a specific bottom temperature, such as cakes or pizzas, the cooking time needs to be increased, but the cooking effect at the bottom is still difficult to guarantee. Furthermore, excessive cooking time may cause the top of the food to burn.

[0057] After repeated consideration and verification, the inventors discovered that if the bottom plate of the baking pan has a cavity and a first opening, and the first opening is connected to the cavity, the first opening of the bottom plate can face the ventilation holes on the fan cover plate in the inner cavity. For some foods that require a specific bottom temperature, the cooking appliance can adopt a fan cooking mode. The hot air blown in from the ventilation holes can enter the cavity through the first opening. The hot air in the cavity can efficiently and directly heat the bottom of the food, making the heat more concentrated at the bottom of the baking pan, reducing energy loss, improving the cooking effect of the bottom of the food, and making the bottom of the food easier to brown.

[0058] In view of this, the inventors designed a baking pan and cooking utensil, the baking pan body comprising an upper base plate and a lower base plate spaced apart, with a cavity and a first opening defined between the upper and lower base plates. When the baking pan is used as a cooking utensil, the first opening on the baking pan body faces the vent on the fan cover of the cooking utensil. Hot air blown in from the vent can be blown into the cavity through the first opening between the upper and lower base plates, efficiently and directly heating the bottom of the food and improving the cooking effect of the bottom of the food.

[0059] The technical solutions of the baking pan and cooking utensils provided in the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Reference Figures 3 to 6 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the baking pan 10 is used in a cooking appliance. The cooking appliance includes an inner pot 20 and a fan cover 22 installed in the inner pot 20. The fan cover 22 divides the interior of the inner pot 20 into a cooking cavity 21 and a heating cavity 24, and the baking pan 10 can be placed inside the cooking cavity 21. The fan cover 22 has a ventilation opening 23 that connects the cooking cavity 21 and the heating cavity 24.

[0061] The cooking cavity 21 and the heating cavity 24 can be arranged along the front-to-back direction of the cooking appliance. The cooking cavity 21 is used to hold the food. The heating cavity 24 generates hot air and circulates it. (Illustrative example follows.) Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heating chamber 24 is equipped with a fan 30 and a rear heating pipe 42. The rear heating pipe 42 heats the air to generate hot air, which is then circulated by the fan 30. Understandably, when the fan 30 is working, it can also drive the hot air in the heating chamber 24 into the cooking chamber 21 through the vent 23 on the fan cover plate 22.

[0062] The baking pan 10 includes a baking pan body 100. The baking pan body 100 includes an upper bottom plate 111 and a lower bottom plate 112 spaced apart. A cavity 113 is defined between the upper bottom plate 111 and the lower bottom plate 112, and a first opening 114 communicating with the cavity 113 is provided. The first opening 114 is directed toward the vent 23.

[0063] The upper base plate 111 can be used to support food. The shapes of the upper base plate 111 and the lower base plate 112 can be rectangular or circular, or other suitable shapes, and are not limited to a single shape. For example, the edge of the lower base plate 112 can be connected to the upper base plate 111, and the cavity 113 is equivalent to a sandwich layer disposed between the upper base plate 111 and the lower base plate 112. The height of the cavity 113 can be set as needed, and is not limited to a single shape.

[0064] Understandably, hot air can be blown into the cavity 113 through the first opening 114. It should be noted that the inner liner 20 of the cooking appliance has multiple vents 23. When the baking pan 10 is used in the cooking appliance, the first opening 114 of the baking pan body 100 faces some of the vents 23. When the fan 30 of the cooking appliance drives hot air into the cooking cavity 21 through the multiple vents 23, the hot air flowing into the cooking cavity 21 through the vent 23 directly opposite the first opening 114 can enter the interior of the cavity 113. Schematic, the first opening 114 is located at the edge of the baking pan body 100. After the hot air enters the cavity 113 through the first opening 114, it can make the bottom of the food on the upper bottom plate 111 more evenly heated.

[0065] Those skilled in the art will understand that the hot air entering the cavity 113 can directly heat the bottom of the food on the baking pan body 100. The heat from this portion of the hot air is not absorbed by the rest of the inner liner 20, causing the heat to concentrate more at the bottom of the baking pan body 100, resulting in high energy utilization of the hot air. Compared to the prior art method of heating the bottom of the baking pan 10 through recirculation, this improves the cooking effect of the food at the bottom of the baking pan 10, helps to shorten the cooking time of the cooking appliance, and makes it less likely for the top of the food to burn.

[0066] Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the baking pan body 100 also includes a side panel 130, which surrounds the edge of the upper base plate 111 on the side opposite to the lower base plate 112. The side panel 130 can be fixed to the upper base plate 111 by welding or integral molding, etc., and is not limited to any particular method. The side panel 130 can block food on the upper base plate 111, making it less likely for food to fall off the baking pan body 100 when the user moves it.

[0067] The baking pan 10 provided in this embodiment includes a baking pan body 100, which includes an upper bottom plate 111 and a lower bottom plate 112 spaced apart. A cavity 113 is defined between the upper bottom plate 111 and the lower bottom plate 112, and a first opening 114 communicating with the cavity 113 is provided. The first opening 114 is used to face the ventilation port 23 on the fan cover 22 of the cooking appliance. In this way, when the cooking appliance is baking food on the baking pan 10, some of the hot air blown into the cooking cavity 21 from the ventilation port 23 can directly enter the cavity 113 between the upper bottom plate 111 and the lower bottom plate 112 through the first opening 114. The heat of the hot air in the cavity 113 can be more concentrated at the bottom of the baking pan body 100, which can efficiently and directly heat the bottom of the baking pan body 100, reduce energy loss, improve the cooking effect of the bottom of the food on the baking pan body 100, and make the bottom of the food better browned.

[0068] In one possible implementation, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, a second opening 115 is defined between the upper base plate 111 and the lower base plate 112, and the second opening 115 communicates with the cavity 113. It can be understood that the cavity 113 communicates with the outside world through the first opening 114 and the second opening 115 respectively. When hot air flows into the cavity 113 from the first opening 114, it can flow out of the cavity 113 from the second opening 115.

[0069] The first opening 114 and the second opening 115 are located on opposite sides of the upper base plate 111. For example, as Figures 3-6 As shown, the first opening 114 and the second opening 115 can be located on opposite sides of the upper base plate 111 along the X-axis direction. The opposite edges of the lower base plate 112 in the Y-axis direction can be connected to the upper base plate 111 respectively.

[0070] In another possible implementation, a second opening 115 is defined between the upper base plate 111 and the lower base plate 112, and the second opening 115 communicates with the cavity 113. The first opening 114 and the second opening 115 are located on adjacent sides of the upper base plate 111, respectively. It can be understood that after hot air enters the cavity 113 through the first opening 114, it changes direction within the first cavity 113 and flows out of the cavity 113 through the second opening 115.

[0071] With the above settings, the hot air blown into the cooking cavity 21 from the vent 23 can more easily enter the cavity 113 of the baking pan body 100, ensuring that the hot air can fully heat the bottom of the baking pan body 100.

[0072] In other embodiments, hot air blown into the cooking cavity 21 from the vent 23 can enter the cavity 113 of the baking pan body 100 from one side of the first opening 114, flow back in the cavity 113 and then flow out from the other side of the first opening 114.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the baking pan 10 also includes a baffle plate 120 located inside the cavity 113. The baffle plate 120 can be installed inside the cavity 113 by integral molding or welding.

[0074] The deflector 120 extends along the direction from the first opening 114 to the second opening 115. Specifically, as... Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, when the first opening 114 and the second opening 115 are located on opposite sides of the upper base plate 111, the guide plate 120 is formed as a flat plate; when the first opening 114 and the second opening 115 are located on adjacent sides of the upper base plate 111, the guide plate 120 can form an "L" shape, with one end of the "L" shape facing the first opening 114 and the other end facing the second opening 115.

[0075] The guide plate 120 is connected to the upper base plate 111 and the lower base plate 112 at its two ends along the height direction of the cavity 113. The height direction of the cavity 113 is... Figure 4 The direction indicated by the Z-axis. That is to say, the dimension of the guide plate 120 in the direction indicated by the Z-axis is the same as the height of the cavity 113, and the top end of the guide plate 120 is connected to the upper base plate 111, and the bottom end of the guide plate 120 is connected to the lower base plate 112.

[0076] By setting the baffle 120 in the cavity 113, the flow direction of hot air in the cavity 113 can be better controlled, making the hot air flow in the cavity 113 smoother and improving the heat exchange effect. In addition, the baffle 120 can also increase the structural strength of the bottom of the baking pan body 100, making the baking pan body 100 less prone to deformation.

[0077] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 4-7As shown, there is a gap between the end of the guide plate 120 facing the second opening 115 and the second opening 115. That is to say, the end of the guide plate 120 facing the second opening 115 does not extend to the second opening 115. In this embodiment, the gap width between the end of the guide plate 120 facing the second opening 115 and the second opening 115 is not limited, and those skilled in the art can set it as needed.

[0078] The guide vane 120 divides the cavity 113 into an air inlet cavity 1131 and an air return cavity 1132. The first opening 114 includes an air inlet section and an air return section. The air inlet section communicates with the air inlet cavity 1131, and the air return section communicates with the air return cavity 1132. The end of the guide vane 120 facing the first opening 114 can extend to the first opening 114, dividing the first opening 114 into an air inlet section and an air return section, with the air inlet section and air return section located on opposite sides of the guide vane 120.

[0079] The vent 23 includes an air inlet 231 and an air return vent 232. When the fan 30 of the cooking appliance is working, it can drive hot air from the heating chamber 24 into the cooking chamber 21 through the air inlet 231. After flowing in the cooking chamber 21, the hot air can flow out of the cooking chamber 21 through the air return vent 232 and back into the heating chamber 24. The air inlet section is oriented towards the air inlet 231, and the air return section is oriented towards the air return vent 232. That is to say, after the hot air flows into the cooking chamber 21 from the air inlet 231 directly opposite the air inlet section, it can enter the air inlet chamber 1131 through the air inlet section, and the hot air flowing out from the air return section can flow out of the cooking chamber 21 through the air return vent 232 directly opposite. When hot air enters the air inlet section into the air inlet cavity 1131, it can flow in the air inlet cavity 1131 along the direction from the first opening 114 to the second opening 115. The hot air near the second opening 115 can flow from the air inlet cavity 1131 to the return air cavity 1132 through the gap between the guide plate 120 and the second opening 115. The hot air in the return air cavity 1132 flows along the direction from the second opening 115 to the first opening 114, and finally flows out of the cavity 113 from the return air section.

[0080] The above settings can limit the flow path of hot air in the cavity 113, so that the hot air can heat the bottom of the baking pan body 100 more evenly, and the bottom of the food on the baking pan body 100 can be heated more evenly.

[0081] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, there are two guide vanes 120, which are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart. The side of the two guide vanes 120 facing away from each other forms an air inlet cavity 1131, and the side of the two guide vanes 120 facing each other forms a return air cavity 1132. Schematic, the width of each air inlet cavity 1131 and return air cavity 1132 can be set according to the distribution of the air inlets 231 and return air outlets 232 on the inner liner 20.

[0082] Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the fan cover 22 has air inlets 231 on both sides of the return air inlet 232. The above arrangement makes the distribution of the air inlet chamber 1131 and the return air chamber 1132 in the cavity 113 match the distribution of the air inlets 231 and the return air inlets 232 on the fan cover 22, so that the flow of hot air in the cavity 113 is smoother, so as to fully and evenly heat the bottom of the food on the baking tray body 100.

[0083] In other embodiments, the number of guide vanes 120 may be one or more, and there is no specific limitation here.

[0084] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the guide vane 120 is provided with a connecting part 121, which connects the air inlet cavity 1131 and the air return cavity 1132.

[0085] For example, the connecting portion 121 can be a connecting port formed on the guide plate 120 or a connecting pipe provided on the guide plate 120. For example, the connecting area of ​​the air inlet chamber 1131 and the air return chamber 1132 on both sides of the guide plate 120 in the connecting portion 121 is smaller than the conductive area between the end of the guide plate 120 facing the second opening 115 and the second opening 115. The number of connecting portions 121 can be one or more. When the number of connecting portions 121 is multiple, the multiple connecting portions 121 can be spaced apart along the direction from the first opening 114 to the second opening 115, that is, the extension direction of the guide plate 120.

[0086] With the above configuration, some of the hot air flowing in the air inlet cavity 1131 can enter the return air cavity 1132 through the connecting part 121 on the guide plate 120, so that the heat of the hot air is more evenly distributed in the cavity 113, and the bottom of the food on the baking tray body 100 can be heated more evenly.

[0087] In one embodiment, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, the baking pan 10 also includes a baffle 200, which is detachably installed on the baking pan body 100. The baffle 200 can be installed at the end of the baking pan body 100, and when the baking pan 10 is used as a cooking utensil, the baffle 200 on the baking pan body 100 faces the fan cover 22.

[0088] When the baking pan 10 is placed into the cooking cavity 21 of the cooking appliance, the baffle 200 blocks the vent 23 located above the baking pan body 100. The shape of the baffle 200 can match the shape of the fan cover 22. When the baking pan 10 is placed in the cooking cavity 21, the baffle 200 is located above the baking pan body 100, and the baffle 200 can be tightly attached to the fan cover 22 to block the vent 23 located above the baking pan body 100.

[0089] It should be noted that for certain cooking methods, drafts are unacceptable, such as with some cakes and pastries, where drafts can cause the food to crack. However, cooking appliances need to employ a draft cooking mode to allow hot air to enter the cavity 113, thereby improving the cooking effect on the bottom of the food on the baking tray 10. In this embodiment, by setting a baffle 200 to block the vent 23 located above the baking tray body 100, the drafts above the baking tray body 100 can be prevented from blowing onto the food on the baking tray 10, ensuring the cooking effect on the upper part of the food. At the same time, hot air can be blown into the cavity 113 between the upper bottom plate 111 and the lower bottom plate 112, achieving rapid heating of the bottom of the food.

[0090] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the baking pan body 100 also includes a side panel 130 surrounding the upper base plate 111 on the side opposite to the lower base plate 112. The side panel 130 has a flange 140 at the end away from the upper base plate 111, and the end of the baffle 200 abuts against the flange 140.

[0091] The flange 140 can be integrally formed onto the side panel 130. The flange 140 can be a ring-shaped structure, with its inner periphery connected to the end of the side panel 130 away from the upper base plate 111. For example, the extending direction of the flange 140 is parallel to the extending direction of the upper base plate 111.

[0092] With this structure, the flange 140 of the baking pan body 100 can reliably support the baffle 200, while preventing hot air from blowing from between the baking pan body 100 and the baffle 200 onto the food on the baking pan body 100, thus further ensuring the cooking effect of the food.

[0093] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, one end of the flange 140 and the baffle 200 is provided with a positioning pin 210, and the other end of the flange 140 and the baffle 200 is provided with a positioning hole 141. For example, as Figure 11As shown, the positioning pin 210 can be connected to the end of the baffle 200 via the connecting part 220, and the positioning hole 141 can be formed on the flange 140. There can be multiple positioning pins 210, and the number of positioning holes 141 is the same as the number of positioning pins 210. In other embodiments, the positioning pin 210 can also be provided on the flange 140, and the positioning hole 141 can be formed at the end of the baffle 200.

[0094] When the baffle 200 is installed on the baking tray body 100, the positioning pin 210 extends into the positioning hole 141. That is to say, the baking tray body 100 and the baffle 200 are fixed together by the engagement of the positioning pin 210 and the positioning hole 141. When the positioning pin 210 extends into the positioning hole 141, it can restrict the movement of the baffle 200 in a direction parallel to the extension direction of the upper base plate 111.

[0095] This structure allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the baffle 200 and the baking pan body 100, making it convenient for users.

[0096] This application also provides a cooking utensil, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the cooking appliance includes an inner pot 20, a fan cover 22, and the aforementioned baking tray 10. The fan cover 22 is installed in the inner pot 20 and divides the interior of the inner pot 20 into a cooking cavity 21 and a heating cavity 24. The cooking cavity 21 and the heating cavity 24 can be arranged along the front-to-back direction of the cooking appliance. The cooking cavity 21 is used to place food. The heating cavity 24 generates hot air and drives the hot air flow. The fan cover 22 has a vent 23 that connects the cooking cavity 21 and the heating cavity 24. The baking tray 10 is located inside the cooking cavity 21.

[0097] The cooking appliance can be an oven or a steam oven combination appliance. Illustratively, the cooking appliance also includes an upper heating element 41, a rear heating element 42, a lower heating element 43, and a fan 30. The upper heating element 41 is located on the upper side of the inner liner 20 and inside the cooking cavity 21; the lower heating element 43 is located on the lower side of the inner liner 20 and outside the cooking cavity 21; and the rear heating element 42 is located inside the heating cavity 24. The fan 30 is located on the side of the fan cover 22 opposite to the cavity 113, and it can drive hot air into the cooking cavity 21 through the vent 23 on the fan cover 22.

[0098] The cooking appliance provided in this embodiment uses the baking pan 10 described above. When the cooking appliance is in the convection cooking mode, some hot air can enter the cavity 113 of the baking pan 10. The heat of the hot air can be more concentrated at the bottom of the baking pan body 100, which can efficiently and directly heat the bottom of the baking pan body 100, reduce energy loss, improve the cooking effect of the bottom of the food on the baking pan body 100, and make the bottom of the food better browned.

[0099] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
